Greetings!

I just screamed! For the life of me I could not remember the steps to creating an autoreply message in Outlook (on Windows)! I had done this successfully three months ago. But now the online help feature failed me and nothing seemed to work. Urggh. Everyone around me was on a deadline of their own. If I wanted this feature, it was up to me to figure it out. The Outlook Template is an illusive file type. I finally found it after sending the message to myself and looking at File > Save As. What a pain!

I'm working as part of a team to revise the Sac City web site. Watch for details. As I'm working on this project during Spring 2007, I am adding to the important criteria I look for before buying software:

  • Import & Export options
  • Save As flavors
  • Display (as in images)
  • File formats: txt, html, xml
Later I'll be telling why "display" and XML are the new additions to my list.

I am the Instructional Development Coordinator at Sacramento City College, where it is my pleasure to work with wonderful colleagues interested in teaching and learning. Sometimes we are discussing technology, but always we are interested in applying effective instructional strategies to our classrooms, labs or online resources. For major projects, I am currently supporting online classes using Blackboard and the new Manila web development server. While there is a challenge to technology, there is also a technology challenge. These are exciting times! A colleague just asked "Is there a word for fear of technology?" You bet. But there must be a chocolate bar to calm my nerves...

Welcome to Sacramento City College!
